Farm Store & Welcome Center
Your visit begins and ends here. Be sure to check in for directions, a visitor guide with trail map, or to ask any questions you may have. While you're there, enjoy some products straight from our farm and other local farms: cheddar, maple syrup, produce, and more. You can order online for local pickup, too.

Walking Trails
From their breathtaking views to their quiet spaces, our walking trails are the primary way to enjoy our extensive campus. More than 10 miles of trails meander through fields and forests, with popular destinations to the Farm Barn, and Lone Tree Hill. The Inn Flower Gardens and lakeshore are much longer walks (4 miles round trip from Welcome Center).
Farm Barn Fun
Explore the Children’s Farmyard, discover how our cheddar is made, and more! Accessible via the Farm Barn Trail or the tractor shuttle, which runs seasonally on the half hour from the Farm Store. (The shuttle runs weekends only through October 20, 2024.)
Cheesemaking
As part of your visit to the Farm Barn, watch our cheesemakers craft the milk of our Brown Swiss cows into cheddar, then enjoy a sample! We make cheese every weekend and most every mid-week day.
Meet a cheesemaker, daily at 11AM, or check out a Sun to Cheese Tour, at 2PM.
